Each signal path and RF connector is fix assigned to one specific sub-instrument. The
RX and TX modules of both sub-instruments are named identically but refer to different
physical modules.
For an instrument with two RX and TX signal paths and two frontends, each sub-instru-
ment contains one RX module, one TX module and three RF connectors. If two RX and
TX signal paths and only one advanced frontend are available, one sub-instrument con-
tains two RF connectors and the other sub-instrument one RF connector. For more details
refer to the following table.
